Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Since Stephen had already realized from his conversation with Inspector Daniel Lowe that something might have happened to Gilder, it was impossible for him not to take any precautions for this mission.

Moreover, he was also worried about Inspector Daniel Lowe's backstab after the matter was over, so Stephen simply found Zheng Shu and hired him as a backup for this operation in exchange for some criminal-related materials he had collected.

Zheng Shu was not very interested in this matter, but he didn't mind doing something for the sake of the materials of many criminals with special skills.

Moreover, after getting rid of the illusionist last time, Zheng Shu wanted to find a time to test the illusion he learned from him.

It just so happened that the commission given by Stephen was a good time to test the illusion, so at the beginning, he replaced the illusion with a member of the special operations team and sneaked into the team.

As for the test results, it can only be said that Zheng Shu was quite satisfied. This illusion is indeed a "rewriting the world" level ability. Whether in fierce battle or physical injury, there will be no flaws.

Even if the body is completely surrounded by acid mist, it is possible to use illusion to simulate the appearance of being injured without being discovered by the opponent.

It can be said that even if this illusion is maintained at the current level, it will be of great help in the battle.

After all, in extremely dangerous battles, even a distance difference of one millimeter will lead to completely different results. With the effect of this illusion, it is easy to play with the enemy to death in the battle.

Moreover, in Zheng Shu's view, if the effect of this illusion is further improved, it may be able to surpass "rewriting the world" and break through the boundary between "illusion" and "reality".

At that time, it will be easy to create the required materials or things out of thin air, or to turn the damage suffered by oneself into illusion.

After considering this point, Zheng Shu also discovered how the essence of this illusion is so close to the power of the King of Hope.

Maybe the illusionist who was solved by him at that time was able to reach such a level because he obtained the power of the King of Hope in the endless void.

This is not impossible, and it is even a very likely thing.

After all, based on Zheng Shu's understanding of the Thirteen Kings, if those idle guys meet someone who asks for help from them, if they are in a good mood, they will definitely not hesitate to give them power.

However, for Zheng Shu, this seemingly boring task, whether it is testing the ability and effect of illusion or getting Stephen's reward, is not the biggest gain.

The biggest gain is actually the guy in front of him!

Looking at Gustavo who is completely dissolved in the acid, and can even be said to be the acid himself, Zheng Shu's eyes are bright.

This is a big gain beyond imagination!

Feeling that Zheng Shu's gaze seems to be a little wrong, Gustavo's eyes are sharp, and he swings the huge frozen tentacles without hesitation and smashes down.

Boom!!!

The cave is shaking again, but Gustavo's expression is not relaxed at all, and even becomes ugly.

The smoke dissipated, Zheng Shu still stayed in the original position without moving at all, and Gustavo's frozen tentacles, as thick as a building, were broken into two sections.

Except for the large area around the ground where Zheng Shu was standing, which turned into spider web-like patterns, there was no change inside the cave.

Everyone could see at a glance that Zheng Shu had directed all the power of the tentacle attack into the ground.

"Who are you?!"

Gustavo retracted his frozen tentacles, and his body with the texture of ice moved restlessly, causing visible waves in the acid sea surrounding the entire cave.

"Didn't I just say it? My name is Zheng Shu, and I'm the bodyguard hired by Stephen."

Zheng Shu didn't care about being hit, as if Gustavo's overwhelming attack just now was just a joke.

Raising his hand, looking at the ball of ice-like liquid that he had just taken from the tentacle during the opponent's attack, Zheng Shu's eyes showed visible interest.

"You... When did Stephen escape? Or was it only you from the beginning to the end?" Gustavo looked at the thing in Zheng Shu's hand, and a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Shu fiddled with the liquid in his hands, looking like he was studying something, and answered without raising his head:

"Oh, you asked this, in fact, the one who fought with you at the beginning was Stephen, the sinister man, but later he released a fog and exchanged identities with me."

"Fog?"

Gustavo immediately recalled the fog that was so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. It turned out that Stephen forced himself to release the fog not only to cover his vision, but also to take the opportunity to change people.

Thinking of this, Gustavo turned his head to look at the special operations team in the distance.

Seeing Zheng Shu say it so recklessly, Stephen was also a little helpless.

But with Zheng Shu's support, he was not very weak, so a seemingly ordinary member of the special operations team stood up and took off his tactical helmet, revealing Stephen's face, and greeted Gustavo elegantly.

"Heh! Sinister man... the description is very accurate."

Gustavo sneered at Stephen in the distance and turned his attention back to Zheng Shu.

Through the battle just now, he can confirm that those guys have no impact on him at all, and even Stephen's own ability will make him stronger.

So what's worth noting now is this guy who has been a bit unclear since he first appeared.

"Hey! That Gu...what's his name?"

Just when Gustavo was alert, Zheng Shu suddenly spoke up, but got stuck when he mentioned his name, and then turned to look at Stephen.

"...Gustavo."

"Ah, yes, Mr. Gustavo, I would like to ask, what is the principle of converting your body into acid? Is it the transformation of the properties of body elements? Or is it the transformation of the soul, or..."

Snapped!

Before Zheng Shu had finished asking, Gustavo had re-condensed a slender whip and whipped it towards him.

"Just use your own body to find the answers to these questions!"

Drawing on the lesson from the previous attack that the hard ice tentacle broke off directly, Gustavo this time used a softer "whip" made of acid with a smooth texture.

With the help of the whip tip effect, even an ordinary person can swing the end of a long whip at supersonic speeds.

The "pop" sound you hear when you crack a whip is the sonic boom produced when the end of the whip breaks the sound barrier.

The whip that Gustavo condensed was over a hundred meters long, and the power it carried was unimaginably powerful.

After the whip was thrown out, terrifying power gathered on the tip of the whip, and even the smoothie-like whip body evaporated due to the high temperature.

boom! ! !

A deafening explosion sounded and the acid splashed, but Zheng Shu's feet were still firmly nailed to the ground.

Zheng Shu didn't even make any defensive gestures. Zheng Shu simply withstood all the power of the opponent's attack.

By directing all the force to the ground, a radial crack appeared on the ground on Zheng Shu's side.

"snort!"

Facing Zheng Shu's unharmed posture, Gustavo was not surprised at all, but sneered.

At that moment, the acidic mist evaporated by the high temperature around Zheng Shu's body and the acid in his hand jumped up at the same time, heading towards his mouth and nose.

Feeling that a large amount of acid had invaded his body, Zheng Shu immediately closed his mouth and covered his nose.

"No matter how strong the protection is on the outside of your body, it's still just as fragile on the inside!"

Feeling that part of his body had penetrated into the enemy's body, and watching Zheng Shu's "death struggle," Gustavo smiled proudly:

"Die!"

…

The cave suddenly fell into an awkward calm. The screams Gustavo expected did not appear. Even as time passed, his perception of the part of Zheng Shu's body was rapidly declining.

"What happened?! What did you do?!"

Facing the furious Gustavo, Zheng Shu shrugged and released his hand covering his mouth and nose.

There was still a part of the acid mist that wanted to escape while breathing, but Zheng Shu sucked it back into his body with more force.

"Sorry, my digestive system is a bit strong, so I absorbed these things."

Smash it with your mouth, as if you were savoring the taste of the acid mist and acid liquid just now, Zheng Shu nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, this stuff will definitely taste good when used to dip dumplings."

"What do you think my acid means?!"

Under Zheng Shu's continuous stimulation, Gustavo has fallen to the edge of losing his mind. The entire ocean of acid has been gathered by him, and even the acid used to block the entrance and exit of the cave has been gathered by him.

"Suffer death, this is the punishment for my acid insult!!"

Huge green waves rise from above the cave. Flying down, he launched a flood-like attack on Zheng Shu and everyone in the cave.

"boring."

Zheng Shu didn't make any big moves, but just glanced at Gustavo. He felt that his body suddenly lost control and stagnated in mid-air.

"What did you do to me? Let me go!"

"It's noisy."

Zheng Shu waved his hand, and the acid liquid in mid-air automatically gathered into a huge sphere, and the entire cave was almost filled with it.

"Your size is too big. It would be inconvenient to use it for torture, so let's shrink it a little first."

Ignoring Gustavo's struggle, Zheng Shu stretched out his finger and drew a few random strokes on the liquid in mid-air, marking out the area he wanted to eliminate.

"Well, keeping these two copies should be enough. As for the rest... let's destroy them first!"

Buzz buzz...

Several huge magic circles emerged out of thin air, completely surrounding Gustavo.

boom! ! !

Dazzling energy beams spurted out from the magic circle, completely covering the huge liquid sphere in mid-air.

Zheng Shu's method of reducing the size of Gustavo's body was simple and crude, which was to use a huge amount of energy to completely destroy the molecules of the acid in his body.

This is a solution that Zheng Shu discovered when digesting acid. Gustavo's "body" can be completely destroyed by destroying it at the molecular level.

Gustavo felt like a piece of meat hanging in the oven. He could only watch his body gradually dissipate and shrink, and was helpless.

On the other side, Stephen and the others swallowed involuntarily as they looked at several giant magic circles that were continuously releasing energy.

"Is this energy output power... a little too exaggerated?" K.K quietly approached Stephen and asked.

Stephen's scarred eyes twitched, and he didn't say anything, just looked down at the personal terminal in his hand.

Since the magic circle appeared just now, he has quietly used his personal terminal and tactical helmet to try to measure Zheng Shu's energy fluctuations.

However, the fact is that he thought too much. Even the lowest energy peak of Zheng Shu's magic circle exceeded the measurement limit of the personal terminal.

Fortunately, the equipment researchers of the police station did not have any bad taste, so the equipment would not really explode after the energy exploded.

However, from this aspect alone, Stephen already knew how powerful these magic circles would be if they exploded out of control.

"Exploded?" K.K came over from the side and looked at the values ​​on Stephen's personal terminal, his face was a little pale.

"Didn't those guys in the police station say that this thing can even calculate the energy of a nuclear bomb explosion?"

Stephen didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.

Zheng Shu didn't care how scared the two people behind him were. He kept adjusting the "firepower" according to the situation inside the magic circle to prevent the other party from being completely destroyed by overexerting.

"This size... is about right."

He snapped his fingers to end the magic circle. Looking at the ball of acid falling from the sky, which was not much bigger than a computer host case, Zheng Shu reached out and caught it in his hand.

"How is it possible?! How could you do such a thing? How could my acid be useless to you?!"

Gustavo was still in a state of broken defense, and he kept talking about various things.

Zheng Shu listened carefully to his complaints and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's interesting. The body has shrunk to this extent, but it has not damaged the mind and thinking ability."

Zheng Shu weighed the ball of acid in his hand and felt that this mission was worth it.

Gustavo's ability to merge with acid is completely different from ordinary body elementalization.

If a normal elemental body is cut into too small units or a part is too far away from the body, that part of the elemental body will be out of control forever.

But Gustavo is different, or a drop of acid splashed on the ground can be perfectly controlled by him.

Moreover, a normal elemental body will lose control once its physical properties change, but Gustavo can even change his body between the three states of gas, liquid and solid at will.

Such ability has completely surpassed Zheng Shu's attainments in this area.
